Step 2: adding data to new attributes


Once the plugin has been installed it will add 2 new attributes to each of your stores products; harmonised system codes & country of origin. These fields need to be populated with the relevant data. This can either be done on product level within WooCommerce of via a CSV for bulk updating. 

When wanting to bulk update you will first need to download the products csv from WooCommerce, ensuring the yes, export all custom meta tick-box is selected. The harmonised system codes & country of origin columns will be towards the end of the report. 

The harmonised system codes for your products can be found here; https://www.tariffnumber.com/

The country of origin needs to be added as a 2 letter ISO code, which can be found here; https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search..

Additionally the already included product attributes; SKU & weight also need to have the relevant data added.
